@Daniel Fridrij This is the type of investing I cut my teeth on.

@Ronald RohdeThe margins seem to be getting wafer thin these days, I’ve been thinking to get into syndication investments as an LP to go completely passive with my RE investments .an opportunity that I recently came across and reviewed has a 6% coc annual return and up to 1.5x to 16x principal return projection after 3 years, this seems closely comparable to other risk free asset classes such as CDs and bonds.

I assume he's not licensed since you can't get a license/bond/insurance with a record...?

Some may be scumbag criminals that cannot get licensed like this guy that tried to broker a deal here locally:RRESTS (Collier County Only) Arrest records made on or after 1/1/2007 (last 10 years) were searched.Court Records Arrested Person Name: Booking Date08/26/2016AgencyNPDBooking Number201600006689Age at Arrest37 ChargedCountOffenseHold ForCase NumberCourt Date08/26/2016001HEROIN-TRAFFIC 4 GRAMS - 30 KILOGRAMS24S16-1551CF09/19/201608/26/2016001COCAINE-POSS WIT SELL MFG DEL SCHEDULE II16-1551CF09/19/201608/26/2016001BARBITURATE-POSS WIT SELL MFG DEL SCHEDULE II III OR IV16-1551CF09/19/201608/26/2016001DRUGS OTHER-POSS CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE16-1551CF09/19/201608/26/2016001DRUGS OTHER-POSS CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE16-1551CF09/19/201608/26/2016001DRUGS OTHER-POSS CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE16-1551CF09/19/201608/26/2016001DRUGS OTHER-POSS CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE16-1551CF09/19/201608/26/2016001DRUGS OTHER-POSS CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE16-1551CF09/19/201608/26/2016001DRUG HLTH/SFTY-POSS HARMFUL NEW LEGEND DRUG WO PRESCRIPTION16-1551CF09/19/201608/26/2016001NARC EQUIP PARAPHERNALIA -POSSESS AND OR USEWIDMAN ACT16-1551CF09/19/201608/27/2016001VOSP/COLLIER COUNTY-WIDMAN ACT24S16-000647CF09/14/201608/27/2016001VOSP/COLLIER COUNTY-WIDMAN ACT16-000355CF09/14/2016 Jail Summary09/14/2016 TIME SERVED Bond Amount$120,000.00 Arrested Person Name: Booking Date04/03/2016AgencyCSOBooking Number201600002800Age at Arrest36 ChargedCountOffenseHold ForCase NumberCourt Date04/03/2016001POSSESS COCAINE24S16-647CF04/25/201604/03/2016001DRUGS OTHER-POSS CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE16-647CF04/25/201604/03/2016001TRAFFIC OFFENSE-DUI ALCOHOL OR DRUGS 1ST OFF16-647CF04/27/201604/03/2016001MOV TRAFF VIOL-VIOLATE RESTRICTIONS PLACED ON DRIVERS LICENS16-647CF04/27/2016 Jail Summary07/11/2016 TIME SERVED Bond Amount$12,000.00 Arrested Person Name: Booking Date02/17/2016AgencyNPDBooking Number201600001382Age at Arrest36 ChargedCountOffenseHold ForCase NumberCourt Date02/17/2016001POSSESS COCAINE16-355CF03/14/201602/17/2016001MARIJUANA-POSS NOT MORE THAN 20 GRAMS16-355CF03/14/201602/17/2016001NARC EQUIP PARAPHERNALIA -POSSESS AND OR USE16-355CF03/14/2016 Jail Summary02/18/2016 BONDED04/03/2016 BOND REVOKED07/11/2016 TIME SERVED Bond Amount$5,000.00 Arrested Person Name: Booking Date03/28/2014AgencyCSOBooking Number201400002945Age at Arrest34 ChargedCountOffenseHold ForCase NumberCourt Date03/28/2014001OPIUM OR DERIV-POSS CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE24S14-644CF04/21/201403/28/2014001OPIUM OR DERIV-POSS CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE14-644CF04/21/201403/28/2014001DWLSR DRIVE WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED14-1085CT04/23/201403/28/2014001VOCP/POSSESSION OF MARIJUANA < 20 GRAMS (WARRANTLESS)13-409MMA04/07/201412/06/2014001FUG/CHARLESTON SC/CONTEMPT OF COURT ON SECURITY VIOLATIONSOUTH CAROLINAO2014B10001008212/29/2014 Jail Summary12/07/2014 TIME SERVED12/12/2014 ROR Bond Amount$60,000.00 Arrested Person Name: Booking Date08/21/2013AgencyCSOBooking Number201300007385Age at Arrest34 ChargedCountOffenseHold ForCase NumberCourt Date08/21/2013001OPIUM OR DERIV-POSS WIT SELL MFG DEL SCHEDULE I OR II24S13-1654CFA09/16/201308/21/2013001OPIUM OR DERIV-SELL SCHEDULE I OR II13-1654CFA09/16/2013 Jail Summary08/22/2013 BONDED03/29/2014 BOND REVOKED12/06/2014 TIME SERVED Bond Amount$10,000.00 Arrested Person Name: Booking Date07/23/2013AgencyPROBooking Number201300006504Age at Arrest34 ChargedCountOffenseHold ForCase NumberCourt Date07/23/2013001VOCP/POSSESS MARIJUANA < 20 GRAMS WARRANTLESS13-409MMA08/05/201307/23/2013001VOCP/POSSESS, USE NARC PARA WARRANTLESS13-409MMA08/05/2013 Jail Summary07/30/2013 BONDED Bond Amount$2,000.00 Arrested Person Name:Booking Date06/25/2013AgencyCSOBooking Number201300005748Age at Arrest34 ChargedCountOffenseHold ForCase NumberCourt Date06/25/2013001DWLSR DRIVE WHILE LIC SUSPENDED 2ND CONVICTION24S13-2058CT07/19/2013 Jail SummaryNo information available.

But even with the constraints it's a very effective way to put your retirement funds to use in other than conventual mutual funds, stocks and bonds.

Bonds, index, individual stocks, REITs, etc.

Most municipalities require contractors who work in the right of way to be licensed and bonded.

well rates are just following the bonds, and bond is rising due to debt ceiling.But in last two months, truly there're two lender that's suddenly offering HELOC to rental to me, even HELOC as first position.

They should cooperate if legally allowed with your collection agency assuming they are are a legal, licensed, bonded company.
